A good athlete who has the ability to line up all over the defensive line and can even drop into coverage. He possesses great length and impressive closing speed for his size when he's asked to get to the ball. Washington has the ability to be stout at the point of attack, but he's easily turned away from the ball and can be slow off the snap. He's built more like a 3-4 DE, but he doesn't consistently shed enough blocks in the run game to be effective at the next level. Washington isn't much of a pass rusher and lacks lateral quickness on contact. He does a nice job extending his arms into blocks, but he isn't quick to shed blocks in the pass game.
